In Love and War Review
Although I have seen this movie twice and I really enjoyed it both times, I think I can understand some of the negative reactions from some viewers (and critics). Some of the criticism is based on the muted form in which Sandra Bullock plays Agnes (not with the personality of the historical figure) and the last scene, which really was not the case. That is, many products allegedly based on real events Take incredible deviation from historical reality, as theacclaimed "Saving Private Ryan" for the screen with thrilling action and terrific performances all fills, but creates a myth that all but two died in a troop of people and the search for Saving Private Ryan. So even as a historian and enthusiast of World War I found the start, in this case is not so drastic and the performance of Sandra Bullock, someone I like on the big screen, in a subdued and somber role, not only different and refreshing but perhaps more interesting andattractive choice, by Sir Richard Attenborough. I could be wrong, but I think some of the critics and reviewers just wanted to see Sandra Bullock in a distinctive role and brave, quite simply, a film with far more action.

In Love and War Specifications
This disastrous 1996 film by Sir Richard Attenborough was meant to be part of his informal series of movies about great men, including Gandhi, Chaplin, Cry Freedom (the Steven Biko story), and Shadowlands (C.S. Lewis). In Love and War is a recounting of young Ernest Hemingway’s World War I love affair with Red Cross nurse Agnes von Kurowsky, who was eight years older than he and who became the basis for the Catherine Barkley character in A Farewell to Arms. O’Donnell is terrible, in a word, and Bullock mostly seems out of sorts when playing someone real. Except for the scene in which Hemingway is introduced, fearlessly making his way to a trench under heavy bombardment, you have no idea that this person O’Donnell “portrays” will eventually change the direction of American literature. For a much better experience, look toward Attenborough’s previous works. –Tom Keogh
